STILLWATER, MN — With the legalization of gay marriage seemingly coming soon to the state of Minnesota one resident of the Land of 10,000 Lakes is revving up for the exciting news.

Marcus Bachmann, husband of Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) has been seen around Stillwater, MN gleefully skipping and talking to anyone who will listen about marriage equality.

“I just can’t believe it,” said Bachmann to Darrell Isen, a local dry-cleaner in town. “I’m finally going to be able to live openly. It’s time to shave the beard! Best of all Michele can shave hers too. We no longer have to make-believe we’re married, and don’t have to pretend we don’t like gays for votes anymore! I can’t wait to celebrate with all my barbarian buddies at the Man Cave.”
